This artwork is part of the series 'Now all my relationships are long distance'. It is a reflection on the interaction between humans in a way that makes a new reading of the separation that has been created between ourselves and the external world, the natural environment. All cultures at this time ‘dress’ the body in a new way, with masks, but what masks do we really wear to disguise or protect ourselves? What kind of nature are we hiding behind the mask of fear?  
My design process led me to transform the creation of clothes and accessories in response to authentic questions about human-human interaction forces in these times. The accessory is no longer to be considered as a mere “protective” enclosure of the body but as an integrated object which can be present in response to the natural need of connection and intimacy. Using textile and photography I have created my own version of masks and outfits, using my body to tell the story of the relationship we all have with our personal nature. It is an effort to understand how humans can connect the private, sensual and intimate experience of their body to a new and wider social and environmental code of communication.
